JEC Innovation Awards

The jury has selected the best composite innovations among more than 100 applications. “The choices that had to be made to reward the best projects were only rendered more difficult by the incredible quantity and diversity of projects presented this year, but more importantly by their impressive quality,” said Mrs Frédérique Mutel, JEC Group President & CEO.

The selection is based on the technical interest, market potential, partnerships, financial and environmental impact and originality. “With categories ranging from raw materials to processes, to applications in various fields such as Aeronautics, Automotive, Medical, Consumer Goods and Better Living, the winning projects offer a complete overview of the composites value chain. They originate from Europe, America and Asia, demonstrating the international added value of the programme,” added Mrs Mutel.

“Mobility and sustainability are main recurring themes in this edition, with automotive, public transportation and greener processes and materials being focused on.”
